The One and Only SCIAC Champs
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – The Cal Lutheran
volleyball team secured sole possession
of the 2010 Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference (SCIAC)
regular season title with a 3-0 home win over Occidental on Friday
night.
The victory stretched the team’s current win streak to 24
matches, the longest
in the 40-year history of the program. It also means Gilbert Arena
will be the
host site for the SCIAC Tournament to be played Nov. 5-6.
In all three sets the Regals faced early deficits but were able to
play catch up
with a strong play from the supporting cast and a service game
that featured
nine aces.
Each member of the senior quartet of Allison Kerr, Megan Thorpe,
Erin Exline and
Cara Ihde started the match and combined to contribute 29 kills,
14 digs and two
assists in the victory.
Kerr led the Regals offense with 14 kills, while OXY’s
Stephanie Gann also
posting 14 kills.
Cal Lutheran (24-3, 13-0 SCIAC) will conclude regular season play
at Redlands on
Tuesday, Nov. 1 at 7:30 p.m. A victory would secure the fifth
flawless
conference season and the first since the SCIAC featured eight
competing teams.
